Do you have a chart with ALL of obama's expenses in it?
You know the wars in libya/egypt for starters?
Libya ran about a billion.
Dont' know about egypt. Probably less as we didn't use our aircraft.
Oh and ZERO US MILITARY deaths or injured, either.
The latest estimate on what George Bush and the republican majorities in congress spent to save us from those nasty Iraqi WMD's that turned out not to exist? About 4 TRILLION when all is said and done.
Bush spend MORE IN IRAQ than we did in WW2.
Iraq war will cost more than World War II - CSMonitor.com
I'm not arguing on if iraq/egypt/libya were right or wrong I'm just saying that chart people have been using is dishonest because it doesn't contain all the expenses in it.
One of those not included would be the wars I brought up....cash for clunkers......the cost of a drilling morotroium in the gulf.......there is a LOT not in that chart, it looks like a chart based off of politics instead of factual and actual numbers.
How many of our troops came home from the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters with life long wounds? What will be the future cost of their care over the next half century? Will a new administration even honor our committment to them? Or will the Tea Party decide care for wounded troops isn't in the Constitution and eliminate the VA along with all of its clinics and hospitals? Or as Reagan's Administration did, will we require those wounded to prove their injuries are service connected, and draw out the decision hoping the problems will soon go away?
You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby... I still need some company
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize,
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I not around
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam some 1oo times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby.. For god's sake turn around
